It is not advisable. No matter what size and how well fed, you are mixing two genera....Lampropeltis (snake-eaters) and Elaphe (rat snakes) and asking for trouble. One time on the way to do a TV show, I housed a king snake with a sidewinder in a bag, thinking that with the movement of my car, they wouldn't bother each other...when I got to the studio...I had a fat king snake and had to ad lib the sidewinder segment. It is better to keep each genera separate. Most zoos do the same. Even within the same genus, snakes are best fed separately...I have had cobras that grabbed the same frog and the larger snake ate the smaller one. Very large snakes must be fed individually. One of my larger reticulated python did major damage to another about the same length, and it is hell to suture a snake.

i take advantage of to snub my nostril at Corn Snakes - now I very own 9 of them - and am making plans to get greater :D maximum of what I shop are Kingsnakes. i do no longer presently very own any Milksnakes yet i could rather prefer to artwork with the two easy Milks or pink Milks. My well-liked Lampropeltis are the two California Mountain Kings or gray-banded Kingsnakes. there are multiple very exceptionally kings available, and that they are oftentimes consumer-friendly to preserve. Corns even with the undeniable fact that have a tendency to musk plenty much less, even whilst youthful, and characteristic a tendency to get somewhat larger than maximum (yet no longer all) kings and milks. on an identical time as many kings are an magnificent first snake, I could say corns make a greater advantageous first snake, and in my adventure corns oftentimes tend to be greater advantageous feeders whilst they're started. My well-liked corns are the Okeetee section corns - the vibrant orange background, thick black borders, deep pink saddles - those are the corns that gained me over and have been given me into corns. it rather is a private undertaking, yet kings will in all probability constantly be my well-liked.

No snakes should EVER share a cage- snakes are solitary creatures. They could eat each other, injure each other, or worse, breed and create horrible mutants that would spoil the genetic pool of both breeds. Do some research on reptiles! Every snake needs his own cage!

Good grief people. calm down. The snakes can be housed together but should be fed seperately. Be sure they have adequate room so that they can seperate when they feel the need-also, the snakes should be of similar size.
